December 31, 2023 - In a good window, very well balanced, tannins softened off, dark fruit. Well-made Red Mountain Bordeaux blend from a good vintage.

September 12, 2020 - Absolutely outstanding! Decanted, and ready to go immediately. Expressive nose, upfront fruit and lingering finish. Tannins supportive without harshness. Some sediment.

February 19, 2018 - Great evenly balanced acid structure with ripe fruit and short-medium tannins. Hints of clove, spice box and green pepper.

October 17, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): Opaque ruby in color, this wine was sourced from several vineyards and is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 12% Malbec, 11% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in 69% new French oak, it is ripe but very well-structured. Black currant and blackberry fruit lie at the core, accented with notes of licorice, bittersweet chocolate, cedar and toasted oak. Full-bodied, freshly acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14.9%), it is plump in the middle and adds notes of tobacco. The medium-length finish reveals some grip from the wine's substantial fine-grained tannins. Still very young at this point but revealing of its potential, this one could use a bit more time in the cellar. Drink 2019-2027.
